Alexander Emelianenko of Russia commented on the popular opinion that he was much more talented than his older brother Fedor.

"I was. When we went out for training camp and I was in shape, I defeated him both in the wrestling and in armwrestling. I was stronger in every aspect - wrestling, and boxing. And ran more, and breathed better - he was just beginning to gain form, and I was already fine," Emelianenko said in an interview with the Hands Above YouTube channel.

In September, Emelianenko Jr. will hold boxing fight against blogger Artem Tarasov.
